A Tauranga Fringe Festival Show
A feature attraction of the Tauranga Fringe Festival WORN is a celebration of adornment, jewellery, fashion objects and the beautiful unexpected contemporary wearable art.
We have artists, makers, designers and creative provocateurs who have transformed a simple black oil drum into a captivating miniature exhibition.
Think beyond traditional jewellery. These creatives have channelled their inner Vivienne Westwood. Embraced brutalist industrial aesthetics and explored salvaged treasures and upcycled materials. The results are refined and precious, raw and experimental. Some are sustainably driven or gloriously extravagant. WORN invites bold ideas and imaginative presentation.
Each artist has curated a selection of suspend works that are wearable art collections demonstrating creativity, craftsmanship and a strong artistic vision. Each cohesive collection of wearable works stands proudly as both art and adornment, they create unexpected juxtapositions and transform each suspended drum into a miniature exhibition.
From elegant contemporary jewellery to wearable sculpture, body adornments and textile interventions, WORN celebrates the rich diversity of wearable art practice.
